So i get a call from one of my clients in Naples to do a paint correction on his Lambo. He told me it was black so I figured it was going to be complicated to work on like that past Lambos I have worked on. He then explains that Lamborghini claims they have changed the paint on the black cars and that it would not be as soft as it used to be.

Saying I was completely blown away by the condition was an understatement. I can’t believe a car can actually leave a dealership in this condition. Below are some before pictures.

Problems in the paint:
Halograms
Swirls
Deeper Scratches
Sanding Marks
Scuffs in paint
Overspray
Caked compound

Look at how many miles were on it!!!!!












































So as you can see I had some work cut out for me. I started off by doing a test section with D300 and Microfiber. It did not come out good, and I was started to worry I did not bring what I needed to get the job done. From this test I learned that Lamborghini had gone from super soft paint to rock hard paint. It was incredible how hard it was. So then I moved on to M101 and Microfiber. It came out a lot better but was not perfect. I ended up using that combo but had to go over most areas multiple times. Some areas I had to use Surbuf and M101 to correct.

















Everything was coming along good until I got to the deck lid. The deck lid had tons of DEEP sanding marks in it. Nothing I threw at it even touched them. I called DJ Mayo and Todd Cooperider for some help. They came over with some more supplies. Even they could not get the sanding marks out and get the paint to finish down properly. We used M101 and wool with a rotary but it tore it up so much that even 7 steps of polishing did not make it perfect. We then all determined that I would just have to get the deck lid as good as I could. The only way I would be able to get it perfect would be to do it in an actual shop with lots of products to throw at it.

I was using the Girot’s machine on speed 6 and using a ton of pressure to correct. My pad got so hot that it actually melted itself to my backing plate and ended up exploding from the Velcro back. It was pretty scary when it happened.

I hit everything with M101 and Microfiber. After that step I moved down to D300 and Microfiber to correct the previous step. Finally I finished down with a Black pad and Sonax Paint cleaner. As you can see from the pictures below it came out great and was a HUGE improvement from when I started.

















Some sun pics.



































Altogether I had 35 hours into this one. It was a lot of work but I learned a lot about dealing with a paint I had never dealt with before. In the end the car came out amazing.

Thanks for reading!!!!!

Great work! That car has 55 miles on it. Did the dealer wipe it down with sandpaper?

I think some of the damage came from the factory and some came from the dealership. Its really hard to tell.

Sad to see a car look so bad with barely any miles. You did a great job.
